Speaker 2 (02:05):
Plus Joey Vada will talk some NFL. Oh yeah, Pet's
heads are falling off. But you know, I h I
got to ask you, do you think is it rude
to ever ask someone around the office like, y'all, I'm
a little busy if you go make the coffee run
our treat?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, there's an expression for you. I buy you fly okay. Yeah,
if you're flying, I'm buying okay. So it's fair, right.
I don't want to look like a Hey. I used
to have people hit me up all the time, and
it wasn't like a like they were trying to undermine
me in any way. It's like, yo, I got you
if you go and get it. Because I'm a little
busy right now.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I never I never want to like act well, I
never want to look like I'm acting big time.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
It's transactional.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So no one thinks Rich Davis is a big time Thanks.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But our buddy Ian, who's one of the great editors
here who at Fox Sports Radio. Fuck can you say
if Ian's back? He went to go get some pumpkin
spice drinks.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah, I'm looking at.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Him right now. Why are you breaking the rules though?
Speaker 5 (03:04):
They were just dropped off right there on the counter.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Because today's day one, Day one? You breaking rules?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You and I argued earlier today on whether or not
the world is ready for pumpkin spiceyd or Starbucks jumping
the gun.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
It's too early.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Look, the argument is always decoration. I'll be right, it's
always you just went to Home Goods.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You just went to.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Walmart a Target, and can you believe they got all
the fall decorations out. Halloween decorations already, Christmas decorations.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We always know about the decorations.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Starbucks put out pumpkin spice coffees today and all their
fall apply pumpkiny flavors, crisp blatte and I'm like, yo, dude,
I'm steal in summer mode. Don't be rushing me out
of my summer. And if you want a refreshing, tasty,
lemony summary drink, don't push me into fall yet, especially
out here in California. Let me enjoy my summers roasting.
(04:00):
It's yes, it's not pumpkin time for this palate.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I think there's three things that are synonymous with summers over.
Summer's over to me.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
But why are you rushing it?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Dude? Take a said enjoy the summer. People wait all
year long.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
For patio season so they could go to the beach,
enjoy the pool, you know, relax and enjoy a summer day.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And you want to rush into fall already? They eat it, Starbucks.
We have a month of summer left. It ends on
September twenty second, does.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Pumpkin spice go at your summer vibes? I say, absolutely know.
If that was hot, if that was a hot drink,
I'd be like, what are you guys doing? One hundred degrees?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
OK, so you made me break my own rule.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now I'm drinking a pumpkin spice drink cold brew in
the dog days of summer.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Thirty two grams of sugar.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh for real? And by the way, how come I
didn't get it the way you put me? The worst
one ever? Dude, I'm not even venmowing you five bucks
for that. That's the coldbrew pumpkins spice it? Yeah, why
is it so creamy? Because that's the pumpkins goo.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Hold on.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Three things that are synonymous with summer's over falls here,
and two of the three have happened, so I might
as well round it out with the coffee. Kids are
back at school, not all kids, not East Coast, two
weeks away from the NFL starting college football's happening before that.
And pumpkin spice, beers and drinks and coffee. So if
(05:27):
there's something still synonymous with summer, like it's still summer
number one, you know, people are still going to the beach.
People are still going to the pool. I'm wearing shorts
right now. Little League World Series is on. It's the
dog days of summer. Baseball's heating up. Why are you
rushing into the fall?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
We may have jumped the gun. We don't need pumpkin
spiced anything.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
We may have jumped the gun, but I do think
those things mean summer's over. Kids back at school, football starts.
Pumpkin spice. Now, I just made me break my own rule.
He bought me a pumpkin spice coffee when I specifically said, like,
how am I going to say no?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
One right in front of me? Lemon spice?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, I said, I said, I don't I want sporty spice.
I want scary spice. I specifically said, I'm not drinking
any any fall anything. List has a leaf turned yet color.
Do you really think Rich Davis they do? I say, absolutely, Okay.
Both of those cups had the name Richard on him,
(06:22):
like rich does not need any more stimulation that he's
already like he every day he wakes up like this,
He's ready to go. You know what's annoying about Rich
not the fact that he's hyped up that's not what's annoying.
You know, I'm sitting right next to you right what's
annoying about you is that he's unaware of how hyped
up he is. That's the bad part. The fact that
you're hyped up all the time and you're the most
hyperactive guy.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's fine, that's you. If I told you right now,
the fact that you don't realize it. He's got good energy. Yes,
he's got a lot of big time energy. Now if
I told you, would you hate me? If I said, well,
we already got the pumpkin iced coffee football. We're watching
the preseason. The season kicks off in two weeks from today.
And your kids, your daughter's in high school now, she
(07:04):
is What if I rounded that out and said, thinking
about decorating for Halloween this weekend?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Too soon? Too soon?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The September, September day after Labor Day, please, No, Yeah,
it's got to be at least September something. And I
understand when you have kids, because you're trying to you're
trying to stretch out, stretch it out, maximize the Frankenstein decorations.
You're getting them in the spirit you just busted out
all these skeletons. Yeah, you're trying to make the most
(07:33):
of it. I understanding too much. Rich, That's too early, man.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I was in Target the other day with my lovely
better half and there were already decorations and you know,
all the Halloween gear out for sale, and I was like,
this is way too early.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Home Depot, Lows, Home Deep and Lows have their like
ten foot the Skeleton Ghules on sale already. They got
you know, before you know it, it'll be that season.
I agree with Cavino. I want to punch myself in
the nose for getting the coffees. But you know what
they do, rush these things along. Debate, people need, people
complain about it, but it is just a Starbucks force
us into fall. And it's August twenty second. Tomorrow, I'm
(08:12):
going to show up in a flannel shirt. Hey, yes,
my fall winter. But he's going to be wearing ugs
and stretch pants tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Bust out your blue turtleneck.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
He's wearing leggings and ugs and a long sweater tomorrow
because he's all ready for fall. Well, so guess what, guys,
the fall drinks are back. Enjoy them even though it's
summertime now. Hey, Speaking of ugs Rich, did you see
Tom Brady dunking today?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I was impressed.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm not gonna lie, Dandy g not so impressed because
he's like, he's tall. It doesn't matter if he's done,
and he's Tom Brady and he's a year removed from
playing in the NFL. I didn't think he could jump
like that. I don't care how tall.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
When we were covering one of the Super Bowls, we
were in the same room with him, remember, and we
all commented, Man, he's taller in person than what you expect.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I brought him up because he was the spoken for
uggs Rich's favorite boot listen.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I do not totally U. Yeah, so I saw that
clip today, But there's a lot of stories we got
to get to.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Speaking of tom Brady, I'm seeing his name a lot more,
and it still hasn't clicked to me that, oh, yeah,
he's a broadcaster, because I'm like, why is everyone asking
tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
On this and that and everything.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I'm like, oh, that's right, he's gonna impress by that either,
because guess what, everybody's a broadcaster, everybody's a wanna be broadcaster,
everybody's a podcaster. Your neighbor has a podcast, your your
nephew has a podcast. Everybody is a broadcaster, man, You
just want to complain about everything. Have a sip of
your pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Am I am I?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Am I right?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Or am I right?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Everybody thinks they're a broadcaster. But you know what, just
because you've got pictures on Instagram will make you a model.
Just because you have a microphone in your basement doesn't
make you a broadcast. You ever see that meme where
a girl's like, I'm a model and the guy's like, yeah,
I'm a soldier and he's playing he's.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Playing Call of Duty.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
But Tom Brady, for a second, you're impressed he slam dunked, right,
I was. I'll give you the analogy that you used
on me once. I'm gonna throw your own stupid words
back at you. Tom Cruise was on one of the
late night shows once and he did a hilarious bit
where he did rapid fire changing in and out of
costumes from all his movies, and he had a really
funny bit I think with Fallon back in the day,
(10:19):
and Commune was like.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Dude, why are you surprised it's Tom Cruise, And like,
you know, what why am I surprised? Well, Rich was like,
did you see how great that bit was? I'm like,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You mean, one of the greatest Hollywood stars of all time.
You think he couldn't pull that off on a stupid
bit with Jimmy Fallon. You don't think the greatest quarterback
of all time could slam dunk when he's six ' five, No,
because he's not that Like, he's not athletic like that
in that way, I am surprised. And he's also forty
eight years old.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You're the first person to say him and Ichi Ro
stretch more than anyone.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I was surprised, and by the way, he was also
surprised that he did it. That was part of the
clip was hey Tommy, think you still do it?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And he jammed.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I just didn't think he had that type of athleticism, Like,
I didn't think he had ups like that. Was that
we all know he's the go I'm not downplaying his
his skill level, but I'll question his basketball skill level.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Was that in the same post where he showed that
his son is his height now, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
That was another one, which, by the way, was a
major realization I think for a lot of people growing up,
Like when you were barely touching net. That was a
major slap to reality for all the want to be athletes. Right,
He's like, yeah, I'm so far from this. I'm exactly
six foot, maybe six foot and a half. You can
touch RIMA call me exactly six foot. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I was touching Rim.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
At my best, maybe in my most primo athletic early twenties,
I was touching Rim with a boost. I was gonna
say I could just touch rim. Covino was touching Rim
if he jumped off of someone's back on a pocost
on my pogo ball.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That's about it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
So hey, listen, Hopefully you're having a hell of a
first day of pumpkin drinks. But I do want to
talk about a lot of NFL today. But before we
get to NFL, Danny, we talk too much Yankees and Mets.
Let's turn the page to your Dodgers for a second.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah, suddenly the best record in all of baseball.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
There had a lot of dramas surrounding the today. You
could say that I gave you.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You can thank me, Danny, because I feel like I
gave you guys the reverse jinks.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
You did it was when we were filling in for
Dan Patrick a couple of weeks back, and you kind
of laid into the Dodgers a little bit about picking
up the slack for all the injured players they have right.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now, I do.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I remember saying at that time, the Padres and the
Diamondbacks were both like two games behind them. I'm like, Danny,
you look behind you. There's teams that are fighting hard.
And since then, the Dodgers are the hottest Seamon Baseball,
best record now. But they made a move that has
fans and non fans scratching their head.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
They let thefa Jason Hayward.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Jason Hayward, who I mean, listen, I'm not following the
Dodgers day in and day out, but he was a
role player on this team. He was no longer the
Jason Hayward of old. But if you remember, this is
a guy that gave the motivational speech to the twenty
sixteen Cubs and extra innings. He's the guy that's known
as one of the best clubhouse dudes in all of
Major League Baseball. He's Freddie Freeman's bro, best bud, and
(13:13):
that's a big part of the story here. Freddie Freeman's dude,
and we're gonna pose a question based on that. But
I also need some understanding. Like Rich said, I'm a
Yankees fan, Rich as a Mets fan. Of course, we're
familiar with Jason Hayward and his role on the Dodgers.
We're out here in Los Angeles. To my understanding, his
role was to come off the bench, right, and I
(13:35):
know he was doing well off the bench, So why
is he the fa.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Well, he was a utility guy in the outfield as well,
and he's the odd man out unfortunately, because when Betts
came back from injury, they put him back to right
field rather than going to shortstop again, which he struggled
a little bit with. So they're like, you go to
right where you're a star, okay. And Kiermeyer, who was
picked up at the trade deadline, has been balling in
(14:01):
center field. So suddenly Chris Taylor is now coming back
from injury and they needed to make room.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So you got kier Meyer, Taylor, and Mookie Betts in
the outfield. Who's playing short?
Speaker 5 (14:13):
So right now Edmunds is playing short.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, but let's say Edmunds stops pulling his way or
I'm sorry and a throw, Mookie bets back at short.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Well, here's the thing. Chris Taylor is a more versatile
player because he also plays the infield positions. Okay, and
he's even the Dodgers pitcher during blowout.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Seems well, it seems like give a wealth of talent. Unfortunately,
there are teams that Chason Haywood would probably be an
everyday player.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But on this Dodgers roster, odd man out.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, that's the thing, because now that means he could
probably get picked up, right if he's dfa'd. Now, that's
exactly what I was looking for the n eg. I
was trying to make sense of, Well, how many people
came back where they had to get rid of this dude.
If getting rid of this dude could have fel one
of their star players, that's really the key here. Not
only is Jason Hayward a good clubhouse guy, and he
(15:06):
was batting, according to you, dany G five hundred off
the bench, Like what more could you ask for a guy.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Off the bench.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yeah, he struggled. He had his ups and downs at
the plate all season long. This has not been one
of his better seasons. But just a couple of nights
ago he had a dramatic game winning home run at
Dodger Stadium where they turned the lights down and all
the Dodger players went crazy in the club in the clubhouse,
and it just as a Dodger fan, we were like,
(15:34):
did you see that pin shit home run? This dude's
clutch When we need him, he comes through for us.
And you mentioned he's a fan favorite. He's one of
my favorite Dodgers. So today really shook up the Dodger
fan base.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Somewhat took up the fan base, But then it poses
the question of you get rid of a guy like
this who I always looked at Jason Hayward as a
guy at the end of his career. You're just looking
for him to deliver in moments like that, and it
seems like he was recently. Let's see right now, he's
(16:05):
batting to wait, I think, yes, his fifteenth year in
the league, by the way, so you know, a long
time veteran to eight.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Yeah, he was, like I said, run he was. He
was struggling prior to that big home run. A lot
of this is bad timing because had he not just
had that game winning home run, I think some Dodger
fans would be a little more understanding, like a, yeah,
he struggled this year. We have too many guys.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah he's that's that's not the way.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
But the question that we pose here is if it
keeps one of your star players happy, do you keep
him around? Regardless, that's a lot of talent. These are
great problems for the Dodgers, so you have to make
a move. But this was Freddie Freeman's dude. So the
question is, and I could see Danny G's upset because
you're messing with the chemistry. Do you take that risk
(16:55):
of messing with the chemistry, messing with the mood and
happiness of one of your star players in Freddie Freeman,
by getting rid of one of their dudes.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You see it a lot in life.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You see a lot in sports where there's always some
dude who's just around to keep the real star happy.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
And Freddy Freeman is the star. He's the star.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah. And I guess some of some of the like
my Dodger little chat group was going crazy today and
my older brother said, some of this has to do
with loyalty to Chris Taylor to CT three, but he's
also struggled at the plate before his injury. So I
guess the fact he's more versatile and they have more
loyalty to him because he's a longer standing Dodger. Maybe,
(17:36):
but like I said, bad timing. And when he hit
that dramatic home run the other night, I remember thinking
the first thought is he was rounding the bases and
the Dodgers were going crazy in the dugout. I remember thinking, Man,
the team has awesome chemistry right now. This is what
you want to see going towards the postseason.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And from a veteran player, and like Richard he described,
not only could he come up in those big moments
because he's been there, He's the guy who could walk
the talk because he has been there with.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
The Cubs, and the kind of guy you want around.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
We busted his shuavos every day.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Who Mike?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Who runs his place? Oh yeah, OK, yeah, I don't Mike,
but I don't want to blow up his head. But
he's a good clubhouse guy like Mike brings good energy.
I'm not saying the other guys don't, but when Mike's here, I.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Think that's key.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Hey, what's up, guys, we sit at the table. I
think he's so underrated we chop it up. We talk
Mike's good energy.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
He's a good clubhouse guy, part of our winning routine.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Iowa, Sam, no disrespect to the other board ops, but
when you're here, you bring the next level of Like
I know Io was, Sam's going to play that sound
effect or that clip or something.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
So yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
So if you're bringing out our best just by sitting there, smiling,
Sam right and pressing buttons and doing what you do,
you don't think Jason Hayward has that effect on Maybe
bringing some level of comfort, good vibes and fun toward
not only Freddie Freeman but the other player is not.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
An unprecedented idea in the world of sports.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
But Richter stacked like did we even mentor mentioned like
the season Hernandez is having too?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Like that, That's why we didn't even have to talk
about left field, because tay Oscar Hernandez is having an
MVP season not for the league but for the Dodgers team.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Twenty six bombs, eighty one Harbis two sixty five.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Like he's having a season he bet on himself because
he couldn't get the long term contracts of the Dodgers,
gave him money for one season and now he's going
to get paid, either by the Dodgers or somebody.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, so now we understand.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
But do you make exceptions when you're affecting the chemistry
and the potential mood of your one of your star players.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm gonna be like Pee Herman and Pee's Big Adventure.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Exhibit A my bike. No, this is not unprecedented in
the world of sports.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Exhibit A A.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Picture of my bike.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Exhibit A. Rendall Cobb being a last year that was, Hey, Aaron,
you want Randall copp to come along? Yeah, he'll do it.
Exhibit me.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, because it made him comfort. Hey, familiar face, I
don't keep you happy. Exhibit me another ante takoupo with Giannis. Oh,
without a doubt, it's my brother. And we heard a
lot about that when it came to the Lebron Bronni situations, like, hey,
no one had a problem with Jannis's brother.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Look at my thirty Exhibit C. Keep the star happen
not only Lebron and his son Lebron.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Over the years, when he's been like, yeah, yeah, I
want that guy, if we could get him, get you
keep your stars. Well, Rich is at this one of
your stars own personal sort of things, like if you
surround yourself with friends, it doesn't really feel like work.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
For years, Rich and I have worked.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
With people we really enjoy and we became friends with
or we got them the job because it was a
pleasure working with them.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And you know, it's a great formula to have.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It could be sticky sometimes, right, because business and pleasure
and all that stuff. But yes, go on, but you
got to keep those vibes going. And you're messing with
the vibes. I know it sounds corny, as the kiddo say, vibes, bro,
it's important to winning. You might think that it's super cheesy.
But I'm a big vibe guy. When when I come
(21:21):
in here, not alone, when everyone's in a good mood,
and I look at the schedule and it's like, all right,
Danny Iowa, Sam Dan Bayer, the real crew is here.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I get pumped up. In fact, Rich looks at the schedule.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
This is top secret behind the velvet rope information Fox Sports.
Rich looks at He's the only guy that read Mike's
who you know, Michael runs this place.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
He's the only guy who reads his schedule. He puts
out because I said to him. You know the other
day he said, I said, did you see the schedule
to ruin our mood?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I said, who's going to run our mood today?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Who?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Richel scan like, who's on with Cavino and Rich just
to see what sort of mood we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Be in that day.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'll look at the schedule like, oh great, great, Oh
Monsie filling in Manzi's great vibes. Then I'll be like, oh,
there's no way that There's no way that Freddie Freeman
could be happy about it. It's you see, when guys
get traded at the deadline in any sport, you see
them crying and hugging their teammates because it's like you
(22:19):
hang with that person every day your job, You go
to work, you come home, you see your kids and wife.
These guys are on you know, planes and they're in clubhouse.
It's like, stop when your best buddy in your class
moved out of town and you're like, oh, man.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Class is not gonna be the same. Man, it sucks.
They're back.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Thursday's that feeling, you know, and it's really is a
game changer. So that's where the drama lies. And I
think they're really, Danny g correct me if I'm wrong,
because again, Danny's the La Dodgers guy.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Here.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
There's a lot of pushback on social media toward management
and a mistake that they made and getting rid of him.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Right, Yeah, a lot of the calm not nice and
the Dodgers sent a thank you social media press picture
and statement out saying thank you Jason for your hard work,
leadership and everything you've done for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's yes, you know what that's like. It's like how
the Democrats pushed out Biden and then they're like.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We love Joe, we love Joe. He just pushed him out,
kicked him on his ass two weeks ago. Now you
called him the real American hero.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
The first couple of comments, horrible move Friedman. The next
one after what he did for the team on Tuesday,
Your nuts? The next one, when do we get to
do this to Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Okay, but hold up, See now here's where I'm not.
I'm getting it, but I need more information too. I
get it, and I get how the fans feel completely.
You don't want to mess the chemistry you're playing. Well,
what would have been an alternate move? I know, That's
that's why he is the question what else could they
(23:55):
have done? That's what I can't figure out, Danny, When
you construct the postseason roster, does a guy like Hayward
and his you know, always the threat of him coming
up in keyspots? Would it be absurd if he somehow
does not get picked up by someone or if he
sticks with the Dodgers?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Could he make a postseason roster as it doesn't yet.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
I could he could for sure because, like you said,
even though he was struggling at the plate pretty much
for the entire season, he can still come up big
in certain moments when you need him in the postseason
because he has that veteran experience.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Man, I all the winning experience.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Your thoughts at Covine on Wretch and hey, we'll take
your phone calls eight seven to seven, nine nine on Fox.

them a pumpkin spice cold broke because I went on
this big ramp about how you're not ready.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I'm not ready for that. Stop rushing me looks about
half empty. Well, dude, it's in my face, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Like, I don't want donuts either, but if you put
a box in front of me, I'm probably eating all
of them.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Well, we said it before. What are the indications that
falls here? Football?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Kids back in school and pumpkin spice stuff, and I
feel like they're rushing it more and more every year.

to your feedback and phone calls with this Freddie Freeman
Jason Hayward drama, right, because they're best buds and they
got rid of Jason Hayward. You got to keep your
stars happy, starsh Gotta keep your stars happy. That's part
of the game. Two quick things, yes, two quick little
(28:04):
nuggets that I found to be interesting before we take
the calls. I saw stat that I said, no way,
Juan Soto became the first Yankee ever. Anytime you're the
first Yankee ever to do blank, it's kind of impressive
or interesting because you think of their history.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Right, Well, they've been around for like one hundreds of years. Well,
that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
And it's also interesting that, like there's always room for
records to be broken, right, there's always room.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
There's always something new. I do love that about sports.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
First Yankee where his last eight hits were home runs,
his last eight hits. Yeah, let me know, it's not
like he was eight for eight with eight home runs.
He went oh for four today, so it was still
like two forty five in that span. The streak is
still alive. Yeah, that's crazy, right, he's saying Wan Soto
might be eight for his last thirty five, but those
(28:52):
eight hits were all home runs, all home runs. Him
and Judge tearing it up. Judging Stanton went back to
back today, the Yankees want early game.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And then I saw something else.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I'm just, you know, scrolling, I'm just doing the scroll
on social media, and I say, what's this MLB news?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
MLB.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
It's a clip from the Padres game at Petco right,
and they go to the camera and they're like, hey,
it's Tom DeLong from Blink one eighty two. And then
the captain goes, that's not Tom DeLong, that's Tom Short.
It was just some guy would have had on as
far as that, I.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Like, I is so funny.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
So anyway, you're gonna see that later on. They recently
did that.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Someone made an error where they put the wrong picture
of some olympian up. Oh really, yeah, it's a it's
an athlete's wife. I mean, maybe this guy's famous. I
don't know who he is, but they thought he was
Tom DeLong. It was not not Tom, it was Tom
the Short. Well, hey, let's go to your phone calls,
your feedback thoughts on whether or not you keep your
(30:01):
stars happy and they'll go to Dan Buyer for an update.
And I had a question about your division, Danny g
the AFC West. It's bad business rich. Like I said,
this all relates to real life. Whatever it is you do.
Think of the star star, think of Colin Cowherd. If
he has a producer or someone on his team that
(30:21):
he's a huge fan of and it brings good vibes
and it works for the Herd. You think they're gonna
get rid of that dude or are they gonna keep
him around because he makes Colin happy, because it works
for the show that it's that, It's always gonna be that.
And I'll tell you what. If you look around your
office or whatever it is, your warehouse, wherever you work,
and you wonder, how's this guy around? Is probably because
(30:43):
someone important likes that. So follow it up with this question,
how is this guy around? Or how is this girl around?
And then follow that up with who important likes him? Again,
that's it, and then you'll get your answer. And that's
also very important to the process. Though I'm not undermining
that role. That role is important. Therefore, Jason Hayward was
(31:03):
keeping Freddy Freeman happy. You want Freddy Freeman to be happy.
He's one of your stars. Not that I need to
be the guy with a million examples, but I'll annoy
you with one more. How many times have it? Does
an ace pitcher have a catcher they like and you're like,
and you're like this time, You're like, this guy's bet
in one eighty he stinks, but every fifth day he's
out there because I don't know, Max Scherzer likes him.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You want that guy to be comfortable, right, he's a
big time player. He's earned that. Let's go to Holler
and James Online?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
One?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Is that him? Who's online?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
One?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Brian and Tennessee?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Is Tom DeLong?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Tom de Short? You know, Danny?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
We still have the phone calls from from like hours ago.
Holler and James is Ben mallarky?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
What you doing? This guy's been on the call screen
since last night? Who is it fresh? Refreshing? 'll be
refreshed in the meantime. Who's online?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
One?
Speaker 5 (31:52):
I was so confused. I thought this was twenty seventeen
and I was on the Ben Mallor show. Brian and Tennessee, Right, Brian,
what's up?
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
How you guys doing?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I have a collection because I'm not sure how it
really works, but is it.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
An option that they could auction?
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Hey, we're down to the miners, Jason, and then if
someone gets on ir they can bring him back up.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Correct, Well, if there's a yeah, if there's a space available.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Yeah, but you have to clear waivers. They can then
send him to the miners. But since he's been in
the league for more than five years or three years
of service time I think it is, then he can
reject that and and he can go in favor of
free agency. So it's always an option.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
So someone pick him up out of spite then or
what I mean, it's possible.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
Or maybe just because he's a good veteran.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, I mean for that reason. Yeah, and again fifteen
years in the league. For those of you keeping score
at home, the guys, you know, he's been around a
long time. Yeah. And if you're keeping score at home,
the nerd, let's get a damn buyer for an update,
d be what's up man, Dan?
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Guys, we start Major League Baseball where Scott's service is
out of a Mariners moving on from the skipper after
almost nine seasons, just finished a road trip, but they
went one in eight, swept in Detroit, swept by the Dodgers,
won one game in Pittsburgh and that was it. So
the Mariners, now five games back of the Astros, will
have Dan Wilson be their manager for the rest of
(33:17):
the season.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
And it stopped the bleeding.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Huh that was I mean, they were neck and neck
with the Astros and now it's just five games a
lot at this point of.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
The season, and you gotta do it.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
I actually, I don't blame them for making this move
because it's now or never wild card, not really an
option seven and a half back at the start of
the day, so you kind of got to catch the Astros.
Angels did sign GM Perrum and Ossian to a contract
extension through the twenty twenty sixth season. You guys were
just talking about Jason Hayward designated for assignment by the Dodgers.
Yankees today beat the Guardian six nothing, Aaron Judge home
(33:48):
run number forty eight on the season. Cardinals blink to
Brewers three nothing. That's best of the Rockies eight three in.
The Cubs were ten two victors against the Tigers. A's
lead the Rays at the bottom of the seventh inning
three to one. Falcons made corner Age Hrrell the second
highest paid corner in the NFL four year extension worth
eighty one million dollars. Eagles acquired Washington Commanders wide receiver
Johan Dotson. Philly gets Dotson and a fifth rounder from
(34:10):
the Commanders. Washington gets a third rounder plus two seventh
round picks. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and other starters not
playing against the Giants. On Saturday, in golf, first round
of the BMW Championship, another round of the FedEx Cup playoffs,
Keegan Bradley has the lead at six under.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Guys, back to you, all right, well listen, coming up,
we're gonna go old school in fifty hits, So start
thinking about your favorite TV dads.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Who would you want to replace your dad? We'll get
to that.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Plus I want to talk some AFC quarterback in two
people in particular, start thinking a little bit about bo
Nicks and what he could bring to the table for
the Broncos. And did you see what Justin Field said?
What Justin Field said, I think I've shown what I
could do. I think the time that I did have
with the first team, I think it went well.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
But it's not to me.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh so justin Field saying I should be the number
one guy, which you want to hear we talked about
back in the day, like Montana and Young and other
quarterback battles they spoke about it. I like justin Field
stepping up. So we'll talk a little quarterback. We'll talk
a little.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Old school in fifty hits coming up right here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:18):

good one. It's a good, good kids movie. You know,
it's a very underrated one. Yeah it is, you'll like it.
So Phil Dumphy himself Ty Burrell turns fifty seven today,
and we interviewed him once before when Modern Family was
at its height, and him and I talked nonstuff about
the Mets. He's an East Coast guy, and it did
get me thinking, who is the best TV dad of
(39:47):
all time? If you if you were to say who
would you want to replace your own dad? Would you
say you were doing the conversation because I wasn't a
Modern Family kind of guy. I'll never downplay the popularity
of the show. If you were to like go, if
you were to cheat and not use your own head
and google it, yeah, he'd probably be number one. Really,
so people love him as the TV dad that much? Dad,
(40:08):
Phil Dumphy, how's that possible?
Speaker 5 (40:10):
One?
Speaker 1 (40:10):
He's not even the best TV dad.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
On that show?
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Oh oh, I see where you're going. But not but

nice guy in person. I mean it might be the
number one answer for most people. Okay, Phil Dumphy, Modern Family.

to ever ask someone around the office like, y'all, I'm
a little busy if you go make the coffee run
our treat?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Is that okay?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, there's an expression for you. I buy you fly okay. Yeah,
if you're flying, I'm buying okay. So it's fair, right.
I don't want to look like a Hey. I used
to have people hit me up all the time, and
it wasn't like a like they were trying to undermine
me in any way. It's like, yo, I got you
if you go and get it. Because I'm a little
busy right now.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I never I never want to like act well, I
never want to look like I'm acting big time.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
It's transactional.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So no one thinks Rich Davis is a big time Thanks.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
But our buddy Ian, who's one of the great editors
here who at Fox Sports Radio. Fuck can you say
if Ian's back? He went to go get some pumpkin
spice drinks.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yeah, I'm looking at.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Him right now. Why are you breaking the rules though?
Speaker 5 (03:04):
They were just dropped off right there on the counter.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Because today's day one, Day one? You breaking rules?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
You and I argued earlier today on whether or not
the world is ready for pumpkin spiceyd or Starbucks jumping
the gun.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
It's too early.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Look, the argument is always decoration. I'll be right, it's
always you just went to Home Goods.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
You just went to.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Walmart a Target, and can you believe they got all
the fall decorations out. Halloween decorations already, Christmas decorations.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We always know about the decorations.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Starbucks put out pumpkin spice coffees today and all their
fall apply pumpkiny flavors, crisp blatte and I'm like, yo, dude,
I'm steal in summer mode. Don't be rushing me out
of my summer. And if you want a refreshing, tasty,
lemony summary drink, don't push me into fall yet, especially
out here in California. Let me enjoy my summers roasting.
(04:00):
It's yes, it's not pumpkin time for this palate.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I think there's three things that are synonymous with summers over.
Summer's over to me.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
But why are you rushing it?
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Dude? Take a said enjoy the summer. People wait all
year long.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
For patio season so they could go to the beach,
enjoy the pool, you know, relax and enjoy a summer day.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
And you want to rush into fall already? They eat it, Starbucks.
We have a month of summer left. It ends on
September twenty second, does.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Pumpkin spice go at your summer vibes? I say, absolutely know.
If that was hot, if that was a hot drink,
I'd be like, what are you guys doing? One hundred degrees?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
OK, so you made me break my own rule.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now I'm drinking a pumpkin spice drink cold brew in
the dog days of summer.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Thirty two grams of sugar.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh for real? And by the way, how come I
didn't get it the way you put me? The worst
one ever? Dude, I'm not even venmowing you five bucks
for that. That's the coldbrew pumpkins spice it? Yeah, why
is it so creamy? Because that's the pumpkins goo.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Hold on.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Three things that are synonymous with summer's over falls here,
and two of the three have happened, so I might
as well round it out with the coffee. Kids are
back at school, not all kids, not East Coast, two
weeks away from the NFL starting college football's happening before that.
And pumpkin spice, beers and drinks and coffee. So if
(05:27):
there's something still synonymous with summer, like it's still summer
number one, you know, people are still going to the beach.
People are still going to the pool. I'm wearing shorts
right now. Little League World Series is on. It's the
dog days of summer. Baseball's heating up. Why are you
rushing into the fall?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
We may have jumped the gun. We don't need pumpkin
spiced anything.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
We may have jumped the gun, but I do think
those things mean summer's over. Kids back at school, football starts.
Pumpkin spice. Now, I just made me break my own rule.
He bought me a pumpkin spice coffee when I specifically said, like,
how am I going to say no?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
One right in front of me? Lemon spice?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, I said, I said, I don't I want sporty spice.
I want scary spice. I specifically said, I'm not drinking
any any fall anything. List has a leaf turned yet color.
Do you really think Rich Davis they do? I say, absolutely, Okay.
Both of those cups had the name Richard on him,
(06:22):
like rich does not need any more stimulation that he's
already like he every day he wakes up like this,
He's ready to go. You know what's annoying about Rich
not the fact that he's hyped up that's not what's annoying.
You know, I'm sitting right next to you right what's
annoying about you is that he's unaware of how hyped
up he is. That's the bad part. The fact that
you're hyped up all the time and you're the most
hyperactive guy.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
I know.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's fine, that's you. If I told you right now,
the fact that you don't realize it. He's got good energy. Yes,
he's got a lot of big time energy. Now if
I told you, would you hate me? If I said, well,
we already got the pumpkin iced coffee football. We're watching
the preseason. The season kicks off in two weeks from today.
And your kids, your daughter's in high school now, she
(07:04):
is What if I rounded that out and said, thinking
about decorating for Halloween this weekend?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Too soon? Too soon?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The September, September day after Labor Day, please, No, Yeah,
it's got to be at least September something. And I
understand when you have kids, because you're trying to you're
trying to stretch out, stretch it out, maximize the Frankenstein decorations.
You're getting them in the spirit you just busted out
all these skeletons. Yeah, you're trying to make the most
(07:33):
of it. I understanding too much. Rich, That's too early, man.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
I was in Target the other day with my lovely
better half and there were already decorations and you know,
all the Halloween gear out for sale, and I was like,
this is way too early.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Home Depot, Lows, Home Deep and Lows have their like
ten foot the Skeleton Ghules on sale already. They got
you know, before you know it, it'll be that season.
I agree with Cavino. I want to punch myself in
the nose for getting the coffees. But you know what
they do, rush these things along. Debate, people need, people
complain about it, but it is just a Starbucks force
us into fall. And it's August twenty second. Tomorrow, I'm
(08:12):
going to show up in a flannel shirt. Hey, yes,
my fall winter. But he's going to be wearing ugs
and stretch pants tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
Bust out your blue turtleneck.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
He's wearing leggings and ugs and a long sweater tomorrow
because he's all ready for fall. Well, so guess what, guys,
the fall drinks are back. Enjoy them even though it's
summertime now. Hey, Speaking of ugs Rich, did you see
Tom Brady dunking today?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I was impressed.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I'm not gonna lie, Dandy g not so impressed because
he's like, he's tall. It doesn't matter if he's done,
and he's Tom Brady and he's a year removed from
playing in the NFL. I didn't think he could jump
like that. I don't care how tall.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
When we were covering one of the Super Bowls, we
were in the same room with him, remember, and we
all commented, Man, he's taller in person than what you expect.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
I brought him up because he was the spoken for
uggs Rich's favorite boot listen.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I do not totally U. Yeah, so I saw that
clip today, But there's a lot of stories we got
to get to.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Speaking of tom Brady, I'm seeing his name a lot more,
and it still hasn't clicked to me that, oh, yeah,
he's a broadcaster, because I'm like, why is everyone asking
tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
On this and that and everything.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I'm like, oh, that's right, he's gonna impress by that either,
because guess what, everybody's a broadcaster, everybody's a wanna be broadcaster,
everybody's a podcaster. Your neighbor has a podcast, your your
nephew has a podcast. Everybody is a broadcaster, man, You
just want to complain about everything. Have a sip of
your pumpkin.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Am I am I?
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Am I right?
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Or am I right?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Everybody thinks they're a broadcaster. But you know what, just
because you've got pictures on Instagram will make you a model.
Just because you have a microphone in your basement doesn't
make you a broadcast. You ever see that meme where
a girl's like, I'm a model and the guy's like, yeah,
I'm a soldier and he's playing he's.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Playing Call of Duty.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
But Tom Brady, for a second, you're impressed he slam dunked, right,
I was. I'll give you the analogy that you used
on me once. I'm gonna throw your own stupid words
back at you. Tom Cruise was on one of the
late night shows once and he did a hilarious bit
where he did rapid fire changing in and out of
costumes from all his movies, and he had a really
funny bit I think with Fallon back in the day,
(10:19):
and Commune was like.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Dude, why are you surprised it's Tom Cruise, And like,
you know, what why am I surprised? Well, Rich was like,
did you see how great that bit was? I'm like,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
You mean, one of the greatest Hollywood stars of all time.
You think he couldn't pull that off on a stupid
bit with Jimmy Fallon. You don't think the greatest quarterback
of all time could slam dunk when he's six ' five, No,
because he's not that Like, he's not athletic like that
in that way, I am surprised. And he's also forty
eight years old.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You're the first person to say him and Ichi Ro
stretch more than anyone.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I was surprised, and by the way, he was also
surprised that he did it. That was part of the
clip was hey Tommy, think you still do it?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
And he jammed.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I just didn't think he had that type of athleticism, Like,
I didn't think he had ups like that. Was that
we all know he's the go I'm not downplaying his
his skill level, but I'll question his basketball skill level.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Was that in the same post where he showed that
his son is his height now, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
That was another one, which, by the way, was a
major realization I think for a lot of people growing up,
Like when you were barely touching net. That was a
major slap to reality for all the want to be athletes. Right,
He's like, yeah, I'm so far from this. I'm exactly
six foot, maybe six foot and a half. You can
touch RIMA call me exactly six foot. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I was touching Rim.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
At my best, maybe in my most primo athletic early twenties,
I was touching Rim with a boost. I was gonna
say I could just touch rim. Covino was touching Rim
if he jumped off of someone's back on a pocost
on my pogo ball.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
That's about it.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
So hey, listen, Hopefully you're having a hell of a
first day of pumpkin drinks. But I do want to
talk about a lot of NFL today. But before we
get to NFL, Danny, we talk too much Yankees and Mets.
Let's turn the page to your Dodgers for a second.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Yeah, suddenly the best record in all of baseball.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
There had a lot of dramas surrounding the today. You
could say that I gave you.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You can thank me, Danny, because I feel like I
gave you guys the reverse jinks.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
You did it was when we were filling in for
Dan Patrick a couple of weeks back, and you kind
of laid into the Dodgers a little bit about picking
up the slack for all the injured players they have right.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Now, I do.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I remember saying at that time, the Padres and the
Diamondbacks were both like two games behind them. I'm like, Danny,
you look behind you. There's teams that are fighting hard.
And since then, the Dodgers are the hottest Seamon Baseball,
best record now. But they made a move that has
fans and non fans scratching their head.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
They let thefa Jason Hayward.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Jason Hayward, who I mean, listen, I'm not following the
Dodgers day in and day out, but he was a
role player on this team. He was no longer the
Jason Hayward of old. But if you remember, this is
a guy that gave the motivational speech to the twenty
sixteen Cubs and extra innings. He's the guy that's known
as one of the best clubhouse dudes in all of
Major League Baseball. He's Freddie Freeman's bro, best bud, and
(13:13):
that's a big part of the story here. Freddie Freeman's dude,
and we're gonna pose a question based on that. But
I also need some understanding. Like Rich said, I'm a
Yankees fan, Rich as a Mets fan. Of course, we're
familiar with Jason Hayward and his role on the Dodgers.
We're out here in Los Angeles. To my understanding, his
role was to come off the bench, right, and I
(13:35):
know he was doing well off the bench, So why
is he the fa.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Well, he was a utility guy in the outfield as well,
and he's the odd man out unfortunately, because when Betts
came back from injury, they put him back to right
field rather than going to shortstop again, which he struggled
a little bit with. So they're like, you go to
right where you're a star, okay. And Kiermeyer, who was
picked up at the trade deadline, has been balling in
(14:01):
center field. So suddenly Chris Taylor is now coming back
from injury and they needed to make room.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So you got kier Meyer, Taylor, and Mookie Betts in
the outfield. Who's playing short?
Speaker 5 (14:13):
So right now Edmunds is playing short.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, but let's say Edmunds stops pulling his way or
I'm sorry and a throw, Mookie bets back at short.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
Well, here's the thing. Chris Taylor is a more versatile
player because he also plays the infield positions. Okay, and
he's even the Dodgers pitcher during blowout.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Seems well, it seems like give a wealth of talent. Unfortunately,
there are teams that Chason Haywood would probably be an
everyday player.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
But on this Dodgers roster, odd man out.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Well, that's the thing, because now that means he could
probably get picked up, right if he's dfa'd. Now, that's
exactly what I was looking for the n eg. I
was trying to make sense of, Well, how many people
came back where they had to get rid of this dude.
If getting rid of this dude could have fel one
of their star players, that's really the key here. Not
only is Jason Hayward a good clubhouse guy, and he
(15:06):
was batting, according to you, dany G five hundred off
the bench, Like what more could you ask for a guy.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Off the bench.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
Yeah, he struggled. He had his ups and downs at
the plate all season long. This has not been one
of his better seasons. But just a couple of nights
ago he had a dramatic game winning home run at
Dodger Stadium where they turned the lights down and all
the Dodger players went crazy in the club in the clubhouse,
and it just as a Dodger fan, we were like,
(15:34):
did you see that pin shit home run? This dude's
clutch When we need him, he comes through for us.
And you mentioned he's a fan favorite. He's one of
my favorite Dodgers. So today really shook up the Dodger
fan base.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Somewhat took up the fan base, But then it poses
the question of you get rid of a guy like
this who I always looked at Jason Hayward as a
guy at the end of his career. You're just looking
for him to deliver in moments like that, and it
seems like he was recently. Let's see right now, he's
(16:05):
batting to wait, I think, yes, his fifteenth year in
the league, by the way, so you know, a long
time veteran to eight.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Yeah, he was, like I said, run he was. He
was struggling prior to that big home run. A lot
of this is bad timing because had he not just
had that game winning home run, I think some Dodger
fans would be a little more understanding, like a, yeah,
he struggled this year. We have too many guys.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah he's that's that's not the way.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
But the question that we pose here is if it
keeps one of your star players happy, do you keep
him around? Regardless, that's a lot of talent. These are
great problems for the Dodgers, so you have to make
a move. But this was Freddie Freeman's dude. So the
question is, and I could see Danny G's upset because
you're messing with the chemistry. Do you take that risk
(16:55):
of messing with the chemistry, messing with the mood and
happiness of one of your star players in Freddie Freeman,
by getting rid of one of their dudes.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You see it a lot in life.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You see a lot in sports where there's always some
dude who's just around to keep the real star happy.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
And Freddy Freeman is the star. He's the star.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah. And I guess some of some of the like
my Dodger little chat group was going crazy today and
my older brother said, some of this has to do
with loyalty to Chris Taylor to CT three, but he's
also struggled at the plate before his injury. So I
guess the fact he's more versatile and they have more
loyalty to him because he's a longer standing Dodger. Maybe,
(17:36):
but like I said, bad timing. And when he hit
that dramatic home run the other night, I remember thinking
the first thought is he was rounding the bases and
the Dodgers were going crazy in the dugout. I remember thinking, Man,
the team has awesome chemistry right now. This is what
you want to see going towards the postseason.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And from a veteran player, and like Richard he described,
not only could he come up in those big moments
because he's been there, He's the guy who could walk
the talk because he has been there with.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
The Cubs, and the kind of guy you want around.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
We busted his shuavos every day.
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Who Mike?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Who runs his place? Oh yeah, OK, yeah, I don't Mike,
but I don't want to blow up his head. But
he's a good clubhouse guy like Mike brings good energy.
I'm not saying the other guys don't, but when Mike's here, I.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Think that's key.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Hey, what's up, guys, we sit at the table. I
think he's so underrated we chop it up. We talk
Mike's good energy.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
He's a good clubhouse guy, part of our winning routine.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Iowa, Sam, no disrespect to the other board ops, but
when you're here, you bring the next level of Like
I know Io was, Sam's going to play that sound
effect or that clip or something.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
So yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
So if you're bringing out our best just by sitting there, smiling,
Sam right and pressing buttons and doing what you do,
you don't think Jason Hayward has that effect on Maybe
bringing some level of comfort, good vibes and fun toward
not only Freddie Freeman but the other player is not.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
An unprecedented idea in the world of sports.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
But Richter stacked like did we even mentor mentioned like
the season Hernandez is having too?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Like that, That's why we didn't even have to talk
about left field, because tay Oscar Hernandez is having an
MVP season not for the league but for the Dodgers team.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Twenty six bombs, eighty one Harbis two sixty five.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Like he's having a season he bet on himself because
he couldn't get the long term contracts of the Dodgers,
gave him money for one season and now he's going
to get paid, either by the Dodgers or somebody.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, so now we understand.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
But do you make exceptions when you're affecting the chemistry
and the potential mood of your one of your star players.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'm gonna be like Pee Herman and Pee's Big Adventure.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Exhibit A my bike. No, this is not unprecedented in
the world of sports.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
Exhibit A A.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Picture of my bike.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Exhibit A. Rendall Cobb being a last year that was, Hey, Aaron,
you want Randall copp to come along? Yeah, he'll do it.
Exhibit me.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Yeah, because it made him comfort. Hey, familiar face, I
don't keep you happy. Exhibit me another ante takoupo with Giannis. Oh,
without a doubt, it's my brother. And we heard a
lot about that when it came to the Lebron Bronni situations, like, hey,
no one had a problem with Jannis's brother.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Look at my thirty Exhibit C. Keep the star happen
not only Lebron and his son Lebron.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Over the years, when he's been like, yeah, yeah, I
want that guy, if we could get him, get you
keep your stars. Well, Rich is at this one of
your stars own personal sort of things, like if you
surround yourself with friends, it doesn't really feel like work.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
For years, Rich and I have worked.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
With people we really enjoy and we became friends with
or we got them the job because it was a
pleasure working with them.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And you know, it's a great formula to have.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
It could be sticky sometimes, right, because business and pleasure
and all that stuff. But yes, go on, but you
got to keep those vibes going. And you're messing with
the vibes. I know it sounds corny, as the kiddo say, vibes, bro,
it's important to winning. You might think that it's super cheesy.
But I'm a big vibe guy. When when I come
(21:21):
in here, not alone, when everyone's in a good mood,
and I look at the schedule and it's like, all right,
Danny Iowa, Sam Dan Bayer, the real crew is here.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
I get pumped up. In fact, Rich looks at the schedule.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
This is top secret behind the velvet rope information Fox Sports.
Rich looks at He's the only guy that read Mike's
who you know, Michael runs this place.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
He's the only guy who reads his schedule. He puts
out because I said to him. You know the other
day he said, I said, did you see the schedule
to ruin our mood?
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I said, who's going to run our mood today?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Who?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Richel scan like, who's on with Cavino and Rich just
to see what sort of mood we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Be in that day.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'll look at the schedule like, oh great, great, Oh
Monsie filling in Manzi's great vibes. Then I'll be like, oh,
there's no way that There's no way that Freddie Freeman
could be happy about it. It's you see, when guys
get traded at the deadline in any sport, you see
them crying and hugging their teammates because it's like you
(22:19):
hang with that person every day your job, You go
to work, you come home, you see your kids and wife.
These guys are on you know, planes and they're in clubhouse.
It's like, stop when your best buddy in your class
moved out of town and you're like, oh, man.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Class is not gonna be the same. Man, it sucks.
They're back.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Thursday's that feeling, you know, and it's really is a
game changer. So that's where the drama lies. And I
think they're really, Danny g correct me if I'm wrong,
because again, Danny's the La Dodgers guy.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Here.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
There's a lot of pushback on social media toward management
and a mistake that they made and getting rid of him.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Right, Yeah, a lot of the calm not nice and
the Dodgers sent a thank you social media press picture
and statement out saying thank you Jason for your hard work,
leadership and everything you've done for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
That's yes, you know what that's like. It's like how
the Democrats pushed out Biden and then they're like.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We love Joe, we love Joe. He just pushed him out,
kicked him on his ass two weeks ago. Now you
called him the real American hero.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
The first couple of comments, horrible move Friedman. The next
one after what he did for the team on Tuesday,
Your nuts? The next one, when do we get to
do this to Dave Roberts.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Okay, but hold up, See now here's where I'm not.
I'm getting it, but I need more information too. I
get it, and I get how the fans feel completely.
You don't want to mess the chemistry you're playing. Well,
what would have been an alternate move? I know, That's
that's why he is the question what else could they
(23:55):
have done? That's what I can't figure out, Danny, When
you construct the postseason roster, does a guy like Hayward
and his you know, always the threat of him coming
up in keyspots? Would it be absurd if he somehow
does not get picked up by someone or if he
sticks with the Dodgers?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Could he make a postseason roster as it doesn't yet.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
I could he could for sure because, like you said,
even though he was struggling at the plate pretty much
for the entire season, he can still come up big
in certain moments when you need him in the postseason
because he has that veteran experience.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Man, I all the winning experience.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Your thoughts at Covine on Wretch and hey, we'll take
your phone calls eight seven to seven, nine nine on Fox.

them a pumpkin spice cold broke because I went on
this big ramp about how you're not ready.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
I'm not ready for that. Stop rushing me looks about
half empty. Well, dude, it's in my face, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Like, I don't want donuts either, but if you put
a box in front of me, I'm probably eating all
of them.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Well, we said it before. What are the indications that
falls here? Football?
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Kids back in school and pumpkin spice stuff, and I
feel like they're rushing it more and more every year.

to your feedback and phone calls with this Freddie Freeman
Jason Hayward drama, right, because they're best buds and they
got rid of Jason Hayward. You got to keep your
stars happy, starsh Gotta keep your stars happy. That's part
of the game. Two quick things, yes, two quick little
(28:04):
nuggets that I found to be interesting before we take
the calls. I saw stat that I said, no way,
Juan Soto became the first Yankee ever. Anytime you're the
first Yankee ever to do blank, it's kind of impressive
or interesting because you think of their history.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Right, Well, they've been around for like one hundreds of years. Well,
that's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
And it's also interesting that, like there's always room for
records to be broken, right, there's always room.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
There's always something new. I do love that about sports.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
First Yankee where his last eight hits were home runs,
his last eight hits. Yeah, let me know, it's not
like he was eight for eight with eight home runs.
He went oh for four today, so it was still
like two forty five in that span. The streak is
still alive. Yeah, that's crazy, right, he's saying Wan Soto
might be eight for his last thirty five, but those
(28:52):
eight hits were all home runs, all home runs. Him
and Judge tearing it up. Judging Stanton went back to
back today, the Yankees want early game.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And then I saw something else.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
I'm just, you know, scrolling, I'm just doing the scroll
on social media, and I say, what's this MLB news?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
MLB.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
It's a clip from the Padres game at Petco right,
and they go to the camera and they're like, hey,
it's Tom DeLong from Blink one eighty two. And then
the captain goes, that's not Tom DeLong, that's Tom Short.
It was just some guy would have had on as
far as that, I.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
Like, I is so funny.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
So anyway, you're gonna see that later on. They recently
did that.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Someone made an error where they put the wrong picture
of some olympian up. Oh really, yeah, it's a it's
an athlete's wife. I mean, maybe this guy's famous. I
don't know who he is, but they thought he was
Tom DeLong. It was not not Tom, it was Tom
the Short. Well, hey, let's go to your phone calls,
your feedback thoughts on whether or not you keep your
(30:01):
stars happy and they'll go to Dan Buyer for an update.
And I had a question about your division, Danny g
the AFC West. It's bad business rich. Like I said,
this all relates to real life. Whatever it is you do.
Think of the star star, think of Colin Cowherd. If
he has a producer or someone on his team that
(30:21):
he's a huge fan of and it brings good vibes
and it works for the Herd. You think they're gonna
get rid of that dude or are they gonna keep
him around because he makes Colin happy, because it works
for the show that it's that, It's always gonna be that.
And I'll tell you what. If you look around your
office or whatever it is, your warehouse, wherever you work,
and you wonder, how's this guy around? Is probably because
(30:43):
someone important likes that. So follow it up with this question,
how is this guy around? Or how is this girl around?
And then follow that up with who important likes him? Again,
that's it, and then you'll get your answer. And that's
also very important to the process. Though I'm not undermining
that role. That role is important. Therefore, Jason Hayward was
(31:03):
keeping Freddy Freeman happy. You want Freddy Freeman to be happy.
He's one of your stars. Not that I need to
be the guy with a million examples, but I'll annoy
you with one more. How many times have it? Does
an ace pitcher have a catcher they like and you're like,
and you're like this time, You're like, this guy's bet
in one eighty he stinks, but every fifth day he's
out there because I don't know, Max Scherzer likes him.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You want that guy to be comfortable, right, he's a
big time player. He's earned that. Let's go to Holler
and James Online?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
One?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Is that him? Who's online?
Speaker 4 (31:32):
One?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Brian and Tennessee?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Is Tom DeLong?
Speaker 4 (31:37):
Tom de Short? You know, Danny?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
We still have the phone calls from from like hours ago.
Holler and James is Ben mallarky?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
What you doing? This guy's been on the call screen
since last night? Who is it fresh? Refreshing? 'll be
refreshed in the meantime. Who's online?
Speaker 4 (31:52):
One?
Speaker 5 (31:52):
I was so confused. I thought this was twenty seventeen
and I was on the Ben Mallor show. Brian and Tennessee, Right, Brian,
what's up?
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Hey?
Speaker 9 (32:01):
How you guys doing?
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I have a collection because I'm not sure how it
really works, but is it.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
An option that they could auction?
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Hey, we're down to the miners, Jason, and then if
someone gets on ir they can bring him back up.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Correct, Well, if there's a yeah, if there's a space available.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Yeah, but you have to clear waivers. They can then
send him to the miners. But since he's been in
the league for more than five years or three years
of service time I think it is, then he can
reject that and and he can go in favor of
free agency. So it's always an option.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
So someone pick him up out of spite then or
what I mean, it's possible.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
Or maybe just because he's a good veteran.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yeah, I mean for that reason. Yeah, and again fifteen
years in the league. For those of you keeping score
at home, the guys, you know, he's been around a
long time. Yeah. And if you're keeping score at home,
the nerd, let's get a damn buyer for an update,
d be what's up man, Dan?
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Guys, we start Major League Baseball where Scott's service is
out of a Mariners moving on from the skipper after
almost nine seasons, just finished a road trip, but they
went one in eight, swept in Detroit, swept by the Dodgers,
won one game in Pittsburgh and that was it. So
the Mariners, now five games back of the Astros, will
have Dan Wilson be their manager for the rest of
(33:17):
the season.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
And it stopped the bleeding.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Huh that was I mean, they were neck and neck
with the Astros and now it's just five games a
lot at this point of.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
The season, and you gotta do it.
Speaker 8 (33:26):
I actually, I don't blame them for making this move
because it's now or never wild card, not really an
option seven and a half back at the start of
the day, so you kind of got to catch the Astros.
Angels did sign GM Perrum and Ossian to a contract
extension through the twenty twenty sixth season. You guys were
just talking about Jason Hayward designated for assignment by the Dodgers.
Yankees today beat the Guardian six nothing, Aaron Judge home
(33:48):
run number forty eight on the season. Cardinals blink to
Brewers three nothing. That's best of the Rockies eight three in.
The Cubs were ten two victors against the Tigers. A's
lead the Rays at the bottom of the seventh inning
three to one. Falcons made corner Age Hrrell the second
highest paid corner in the NFL four year extension worth
eighty one million dollars. Eagles acquired Washington Commanders wide receiver
Johan Dotson. Philly gets Dotson and a fifth rounder from
(34:10):
the Commanders. Washington gets a third rounder plus two seventh
round picks. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and other starters not
playing against the Giants. On Saturday, in golf, first round
of the BMW Championship, another round of the FedEx Cup playoffs,
Keegan Bradley has the lead at six under.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Guys, back to you, all right, well listen, coming up,
we're gonna go old school in fifty hits, So start
thinking about your favorite TV dads.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Who would you want to replace your dad? We'll get
to that.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Plus I want to talk some AFC quarterback in two
people in particular, start thinking a little bit about bo
Nicks and what he could bring to the table for
the Broncos. And did you see what Justin Field said?
What Justin Field said, I think I've shown what I
could do. I think the time that I did have
with the first team, I think it went well.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
But it's not to me.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Oh so justin Field saying I should be the number
one guy, which you want to hear we talked about
back in the day, like Montana and Young and other
quarterback battles they spoke about it. I like justin Field
stepping up. So we'll talk a little quarterback. We'll talk
a little.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Old school in fifty hits coming up right here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (35:18):

good one. It's a good, good kids movie. You know,
it's a very underrated one. Yeah it is, you'll like it.
So Phil Dumphy himself Ty Burrell turns fifty seven today,
and we interviewed him once before when Modern Family was
at its height, and him and I talked nonstuff about
the Mets. He's an East Coast guy, and it did
get me thinking, who is the best TV dad of
(39:47):
all time? If you if you were to say who
would you want to replace your own dad? Would you
say you were doing the conversation because I wasn't a
Modern Family kind of guy. I'll never downplay the popularity
of the show. If you were to like go, if
you were to cheat and not use your own head
and google it, yeah, he'd probably be number one. Really,
so people love him as the TV dad that much? Dad,
(40:08):
Phil Dumphy, how's that possible?
Speaker 5 (40:10):
One?
Speaker 1 (40:10):
He's not even the best TV dad.
Speaker 4 (40:12):
